Band biography

In late 2002 the German metal band VANIZE split up and Rolf Munkes, Marcus Bielenberg and Pierre Fienhold decided to start a new band with a new singer and a more melodic kind of metal. So they started writing new songs and searching for a new singer. After several audtitions with German singers who all were singing in other bands and wanted to work only as a project, it was obvious to look for one somewhere else. Accidentally Rolf talked to Neil Mussry in those days and asked him if he knew a good singer for a new metal band. And he did; some weeks before Stefan Berggren left COMPANY OF SNAKES and was looking for a new band. Ralf sent Stefan a tape with four new songs, he was enthusiastic when he heard the songs and came to Germany to record the vocals in Rolf‘s studio and got to know the other guys in the band. After some rehearsals they knew it was the perfect match, only the thickness in the sound was missing. Therefore Rolf asked Chris Heun (ex-Shylock) to play the second guitar in RAZORBACK. Chris loved the band at first hearing and became the fifth member in RAZORBACK. The debut album „Animal Anger“ shows melodic, grooving metal of highest international quality and shows impressingly that professionals with excellent skills and motivation perform here. Ear catchers such as „The Hymn“, „One by One“ or „Eye of the Storm“ or the real heavy „ Kiss of Death“ convince everyone - RAZORBACK are everything else than just another new comer act but a melodic metal outfit that is unique in Germany and set their signs in the European metal scene already with their first album!
